The human condition is a good one in that no one is unhappy except by his own fault.

Seneca

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

Now, of all the benefits that virtue confers upon us, the contempt of death is one of the greatest, as the means that accommodates human life with a soft and easy tranquility, and gives us a pure and pleasant taste of living, without which all other pleasure would be extinct.

Michel de Montaigne

It is good to have a goal, but bad to let your goal have you. Focus is good, but focus that is too narrow becomes blindness.

The Stoic Emperor

A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.

How do some achieve what many desire? They seek the best teachers. They sacrifice. They delay gratification. They see the world as it is, not as they wish it to be. They revise their theories. They resist distraction. They watch the right metrics. They avoid costly drama.

The Stoic Emperor

El sabio se contenta con su suerte, cualquiera que sea, sin desear lo que no tiene.
